- Post-Occupancy Evaluation: After project completion, Trevor Hall Architects can conduct post-occupancy evaluations to assess the performance of the building and gather feedback from occupants.
Our Design Principles: Investigative and Design Development
As experienced residential architects in Sydney, we recognise that thorough investigation and design development are key to a successful project. We take the time to understand your vision, the site’s constraints, Council and regulatory controls, and then translate them into innovative and approvable architectural designs.
We carefully consider factors such as site conditions, natural light & sun orientation, spatial flow, and material sustainability to create spaces that are both functional and aesthetically pleasing. We have a deep understanding of the Council controls and building compliance ultimately required to achieve a built solution.
Registered Design Practitioner: Class 2 Buildings (Apartments)
The Design & Building Practitioner (DBP) Act and Regulations are a key part of the NSW Government’s mandate at overhauling the building and construction industry, to restore public confidence and ensure quality and safety outcomes. This tranche of reform aims to deliver increased rigour to the design and construction of multi-storey and multi-unit residential buildings. It also applies to mixed-use buildings that include a residential apartment component.
Trevor Hall is a Registered Design Practitioner and is eligible to work on these types of projects.
We have experience in applying the Apartment Design Guide (ADG) and Liveable Housing Australia design guidelines that are now incorporated in the NCC (National Construction Code formerly BCA Building Code of Australia).
Quality Assurance: Collaboration with Builders and Tradesmen
To ensure that the quality of your project is maintained from concept to delivery, we provide detailed documentation. Our comprehensive residential architectural drawings and specifications serve as a guide for builders and tradesmen on-site, minimising errors and ensuring that your vision is executed with precision whilst reducing the potential for variations and cost blowouts.
Having worked closely with builders and tradesmen throughout our years of experience, we understand the importance of collaboration and effective communication on-site. Our team has developed strong relationships with local industry professionals, enabling us to coordinate seamlessly with contractors and trades to bring your project to life efficiently and within budget.
Building for the Future: Sustainable Design and Environmental Responsibility
At Trevor Hall Architects, we are committed to sustainable design and environmental responsibility. We understand the importance of minimising the ecological footprint of our projects and creating spaces that are energy-efficient, environmentally friendly, and built to last.
Throughout the design process, we consider sustainable design principles such as passive solar design, natural ventilation, energy-efficient lighting, and the use of sustainable materials. We strive to create spaces that not only enhance your quality of life but also contribute to a healthier planet.
